Tomah-Warrens Sportsman’s Alliance June Minutes
Old business:
· Jim Murphy reported that after our discussion with DNR warden, Mark Little last month regarding establishing a checking account to recognize volunteers who taught the hunter safety program he has established an account. He reported that he has deposited $25.00 in this account.
· Jim Murphy noted that a “Thank you” has been sent to Eric Price of Tomah Memorial Hospital for the $100.00 gift that was given to TWSA.
New business:
· Scholarship applications from Brett Mittlesteadt and Adam Gasser were briefly reviewed. There was then discussion regarding how much should be awarded. Jim Murphy made a motion that each applicant should be given $300.00 each. This motion was seconded by Larry Mittlesteadt. This motion was then voted on by board members and passed. Paul Gasser abstained from the voting. Checks will then be sent to both applicants.
It was also noted that individuals may apply for this scholarship twice. First time applicants will be given first priority. The amount of scholarship money may vary each year based upon the amount of funds that are available.
· Jim Murphy provided a financial update on the Scheels Archery shoot. He indicated that after all bills were paid, we were able to break even overall. He indicated that he still has some bills that yet need to be paid that he will address before our next meeting.
· Marty Neas of Trail Cruisers Snowmobile Club requested to install four electrical boxes so that he and other snowmobile club members could camp on the TWSA grounds. He was granted permission to use the club grounds for this occasion. However, it was noted that in future board meetings we will develop policies for use of the club. Our goal will be to encourage the future development of the club, but to make sure there will be established procedures for doing so.
· Discussion also took place regarding the feedback Jim Murphy received from our insurance carrier. Several recommendations were provided that we act upon in the future (e.g. addition of fire extinguishers, develop some type of border around the shooting range, etc.). Other items will be discussed further (e.g. the development of a liability waver for participants to sign prior to shooting).
